Discussed wetlands impact.  Mr. Rodell is seeking another fire pond option on an abutting property.  The applicant is seeking approval with the proposed pond.  If the other pond becomes a possibility then they will be back before the Board for a revision.  There is an existing pond that should work as a fire pond for the subdivision.  It would require less clearing of land.  Discussed figures for bonding the fire pond.  No figures have been submitted to date.  Mr. Rodell was informed the pond would be required to be built ahead of time or a bond is required.

Denise LaBombard was present.

Mr. Greene made a comment regarding proper communication between the Planning Board and the Building Inspector.  It was due to the commercial activity before the house was built but the ZBA variance said a house could be built so the building permit was issued in error.  Anything on an industrial lot has to be a site plan. Discussed designing a signature block on building permits which the ZBA and Planning Board can sign off their approval.  Stuart Draper said it is a good idea and the problem has existed in the past.

A few minor revisions were made to the plan since the last meeting.

Gradation for stone web…sheet 5 added gravel spec.
Waivers for soil types and location by registered soil and HISS

House will remain residential-note 16.  Plan to make the sign a bit larger.

Lighting will be downcast, which will be downgraded to 50% in evening.

No outside storage by rental customers and no motorized storage by rental customers.

Mr. Greene questioned the center of the road.

Discussed the Geo-web product to be used in the driveway.   Mr. Fish was unsure about the materials and inquired if Tom Quinn could provide information.  Mr. Quinn explained the materials are readily available.  MacMartin inquired from Mr. Quinn if a slip could be given to verify that the correct materials were delivered (receipt).  Mr. Quinn said that if it is DOT grade then it probably is readily available.  Ms. Hoar was concerned about the fibers were made of and what would happened when the product breaks down.

Discussed the location of the Scotch Pine trees.  The Board felt they won’t conceal the storage units.  Scotch Pines will keep its branches more than White Pine trees but it ends up being a tall bush with a long stem.  Discussed building design vs the buffer.  Mr. Wagner said there could be some sort of compliance check for the buffer five years down the road.  Also discussed using a 6 foot fence on the retaining wall for a buffer and adding trees to the side of the property

To do list:
-More information on the Geo-web product
-Fence

Change note 13 to “no hazardous material to be stored on-site”.

VOTE: Mr. Greene moved to continue to January 2005.  Mr. Sullivan seconded the motion.  Motion passed.

Mr. Quinn informed the Board he didn’t receive a notice as an abutter.  It was determined it was sent to an incorrect address.  Mr. Quinn inquired if this “supersedes” and if the house occupants have a right to complain about industrial noise in the area because the house a residence in an industrial area.  Discussed the process.  The Board will review ZBA decisions regarding the wording on the plan.

Mr. Faiman is off the Board and is replaced by David Holder.

Mr. Quinn plans to close down the pit next year.  It is a 22 acre site in the residential/agricultural district and the aquifer protection area.  There is another four acres that goes out to Abbot Hill Road that will be added to one of the house lots.

Provision to tie into the sewer and to 12.3 permitted use in the aquifer district.
Mr. Quinn sees three ways to tie into the septic system.
1.  Gravity system to treatment plant  - very costly.
2. Grinder pump from each house that takes the product and grinds it up individually and pumps it to the sewer
3. As proposed, pump the liquid to the sewer and use a regular tank for a solid and have it taken away every few years.  Cost for option two or three would be about equal.

The proposed road is over 600 ft.  Discussed options and that the road it too long.

Across the river is trail system for fisherman.  Reparian Way is an unorganized ROW for fisherman.  The Conservation Commission will chat with Mr. Quinn regarding it.

Mr. Cabana is looking to move his real estate office to Convenience 101 building.

Hours of operation will be 9am-5pm Monday through Friday, Saturday 10am-3pm and by appointment only on Sundays. There will be one full-time officer manager and six full-time independent agents

Mr. Cabana plans to do some interior modifications and upgrading.

Discussed that the wetlands reclamation has not been improved.  The current owner is responsible for this work to be completed.

Mr. Cabana needs a letter from the owner to represent him.

If parking or signage would be different from the site plan it should be okay as equal to less than the store.

Tom Boisvert was present.
The project is the last phase of Steve Moheban’s subdivision for Senator Development.
Letter from Steve Elliott (see file).
Lots F-95, F-93, F-96 town will receive road frontage.  Salt Marsh Builders will be responsible for elimination of the ROW easement.  It will help to straighten this portion of Isaac Frye Highway.

Mr. Boisvert wants to add one driveway cut.  Rock walls will be removed and some trees cut down.  The Heritage Commission might have a concern.
Technically it would be a site plan amendment.  Discussed the procedure.  Possibly consult town attorney.  Since the applicant is removing the stone walls and the bounds they have to set some sort of bounds.   Discussed an offset bound.

Carol Roberts has a proposal she would like to submit.  Discussed the time frame for hearings.  The last day to notice is January 7th for hearing on January 18th and the final hearing has to be Feb. 1st.  Notice 10 days before the meeting not counting the day of the meeting.

State law was changed as to how to specify wetlands in the town ordinances.

RSA 155:  reclamation plans don’t have replanting seedlings in them so the Board is considering modifications.

A work session is set for December 29th 7:30pm.

Respectfully submitted,

Kathleen Humphreys
